I love, love, love Tommy! Was just showing him - running with his big red ball to my husband when this origin story popped up. Tommy is so adorable. Thank you for giving him a great life. ❤
Lee I am 71 years old and have had Bulldogs since I was 5 years old and watching how happy Tommy is was the best thing I have seen. Thank you for bringing him home
You are a very lucky woman. I ended up with a 1 year old eng bulldog from my ex boyfriend. I fell in love instantly and had that bulldog until he was 13. He had to be put down in 2017 at age 13. I still cry every single day, 7 years later. I've had many dogs, but that bulldog has put the largest hole in my heart. So glad Lee decided to keep Tommy.
What a sweet boy!! I had an English bulldog, his name was Bob, the best breed of dog ever, but they will break your heart when they develop health problems! Bob lived an exceedingly long life for a EBD, he was 13 when he passed. He developed Cushing disease in his final year & it was heart wrenching! My oldest son has had 3, one that passed from cancer at 10, and the 2 he has now. One has horrific skin problems & allergies and the other gets weepy eyes. They are so dedicated and so loving and have such horrible separation anxiety from their owners, that I'm surprised you are fostering him instead of adopting him! At 8 years old & losing his previous family, and now getting attached to you & will eventually lose you, that's a lot of heartache for an 8 year old bullie to go through! I hope you consider him a foster fail and let him live out his life at Asher house!
Unwanted are the one who have the most beautiful eyes and they do know who they can trust.. They are more beautiful at any point compare to cruel fake humankind.. Their actions are speak louder than human
I love how Lee greets every new doggy with instant kisses. I have yet to see any dog refuse all that loving. That's an immediate bonding experience. ❤️
I've been fostering for years and when I first get them, unless they're dealing with a recent surgery or something, I just smother them and kisses and hugs and back scratches and everything. Then I tone it down just to see what their comfort level is. Sometimes it takes a few days and they just want to sleep.. but they always remember you is the one that covered them in kisses first!
I wondered that as well, since there are BD fanciers out there who would scoop Tommy right up. Since he wasn't "surrendered" to a shelter due to issues, I thought maybe he was lost. *But someone notified me that even English Bulldogs can be used in puppy mill systems* where you have breeder dogs (like the Asher House golden retriever Lucy) who spend their young years being used as breeders--with no other life--and then when they are older and "used up", they are dumped or worse. So it's possible that Tommy was discarded from such a situation, due to his age and health issues. Maybe Lee will clarify at some point.
@@andydufresne5297 Yes, puppy mills use dog slaves for years as breeders and they breed pretty much everything. See if you can find a list of the puppymills in your state.
@@shalacarter6658 In my state, when a referendum was brought by citizens to ban puppy mills some years ago, our legislature ignored it. Business as usual.
That chunky little baby would steal my heart in a second! I'm so glad he's going to get the care and love he needs. And in such a beautiful place with all the other dogs! Thank you!! 🥰
Look at that face who couldn't fall in love with him. He just looks like the sweetest boy, by the way I know you love him you made a song for him!! Everyone in the pack was so good with him, and Penny that girl is the social director to make sure he is good!! I really love him he has a beautiful smile nice choice my friend, love ya!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tommy Boy is so handsome and chill, what an awesome addition to the pack. He looks a lot like my Pinky Louise, an English bulldog mix I adopted 8 years ago, also from the mean streets of L.A. She’s been the best girl ever and still going strong. I’m wishing all the best for you and Tommy Boy, he couldn’t have landed at a better place than with you at the Sanctuary.💕
I love how "the pack" is so patient and sweet to any new dog you introduce them to. They feel safe at all times and are willing to greet any new dog with kindness and that's due to your kind, compassionate nature :-)
How could you abandon such a Sweet Soul...? I just adore him!!!! 🧡🐾❣ Thank you Lee for saving his life and giving him such a loving surrounding !!! I pray 🙏 you keep him. God Bless!!
I've been working in fostering and rescue for years and it's not just Lee. Obviously we are all fans of Lee or we wouldn't be here.. but there is such a wonderful network in the US of people who volunteer to transport dogs from areas like after Hurricane Ian struck and we had a Labrador overpopulation in a breeding facility here in Washington state, a few months ago when 4,000 beagles were rescued from a breeding for research facility. Those beagles are now in 48 states and for all I know Alaska and Hawaii too! Once you start volunteering and you're part of this network you'd be amazed! *_It takes a village to do this!_*
LOVE. this video... Welcome Home Tommy🐶 Boy...🎵 to the place 🎵 where you belong.🎵.. .The Asher 🏡 House 🎵.. with Lots of Lee's Love.🎵..and a Caring Team.. who will make you Beam🎵 with Happiness and Healing🎵... ✌🏻👸🏻❣️
It's so funny to watch the new dogs reactions when you first bring them home. You see the mass of dogs checking out the new dog at the truck or in the yard. Then it's like everywhere the new dog turns, there's *another* dog. Open a door. Dog. Walk into a room. Another dog. Walk onto the porch. More dogs. Lol
I watched the videos of Tommy on the paddle board launching himself out on the lake. I laughed out loud when you said how calm he looked. He's 100% goofball!
This is the channel, the only channel that gives me happy tears 🥲 every time you introduce a dog to the pack, the love that they bring and show to the newby is really beautiful. I love these moments with you Lee! 👍🏼☀️
Bulldogs are very chill. I have a forever foster Sr bulldog who is 9, female who was taken in from rescue after being overbred and tons of major spine issues. She is the easiest dog I have ever had. After losing 3 boxers to cancer in less than two years she is my sunshine.
Maybe his owner passed on? Or got arrested ? His owner might have been homeless? There are many possible "innocent" reasons why dogs can end up on the streets. It's sad, of course, in each case, but I don't think that it's always for malicious reasons.
Truly amazing how Tommy Boy looked so unsure & hesitant in the beginning of the video & then emerges as a tail wagging puppa who brightened up seeing Lee trotting right over! What a change just a bit of love can bring
Aww, look at Millie all up there in the welcoming committee and wagging her tail. Love how they all gather round the newbies so gently and giving reassurance.
That was just a wonderful welcome... your doggos learn what they live. They are so loved, have a real family, and have a Pack Dad who loves them all individually and as a Doggie Family / Pack. They are all filled up inside, love their life, and have enough to share. They are not worried that one new dog is going to mean no place for them. That is an absolutely fantastic achievement! You.set a great example for us all,on so many levels. I wish you well, much happiness, and thank you most sincerely.
I love how when you bring home a new pup, the rest of the pack reminds me of little kids when a loved one comes back from a trip... "What did ya bring me, Dad?!?! What you got in there?!?! Is it for me?!?!" 💜🐾💜🐾
I love, love, love Tommy! Was just showing him - running with his big red ball to my husband when this origin story popped up. Tommy is so adorable. Thank you for giving him a great life. ❤

I love how you give all your babies their very own custom song
Hearing a little John Denver influence. 🎶Take me home, Tommy Boy. 🎵 To the place I belong! Arrrooo!
It's "take me home country road" but I agree that Lee does an amazing job making them feel special

Foster? Yeah right. It’s pretty obvious Lee is already in love with this dog.
He foster failed today.... I love it
That's exactly what I thought!
You called it
😂
English Bulldogs are a breed with the sweetest temperment! Just hsve a big bank account for all their health problems. It's heartbreaking.
Tommy is one of my favourites. He has the funniest demeanour.
I miss seeing Tommy without his red ball.
You will never know how much I love seeing the unwanted becoming one of the pack.
I feel the same.
Beautiful to see💜. Tommy looks years younger the next day. Part of the pack & a home filled with love.
Yes it's very special
Unwanted are the one who have the most beautiful eyes and they do know who they can trust.. They are more beautiful at any point compare to cruel fake humankind..
Their actions are speak louder than human
I love tommy boy, he is one of my favs

@@IntriguedLioness so sweet lol
Lee truly loves these beautiful animals. It's SO easy to tell.
@@IntriguedLioness You're an inspiration to all of us.
Catching up on Tommy's history. Is there a specific one where he gets his famous red ball?
I love how when the dogs get out of the truck for the first time they are immediately home. They know they are safe. The perfect orphanage!
How could such a beautiful bulldog be running homeless out on the streets? He’s adorable ❤️
That was my first thought as well. An adorable English Bully-Angel... homeless?!? I'm SO thankful he's now safe & happy & is at last... Home.💕X💕🙏💕O💕

Seems there is every breed of dog on the streets of LA...abandoned, dumped,etc. And so few people seem to even care😢
Tommy has been one of my all time favorites. He doesn't act his age at all 😂.
There's no way I could give Tommy Boy away. He's frickin adorable, helath issues and all!
That chunky little baby would steal my heart in a second! I'm so glad he's going to get the care and love he needs. And in such a beautiful place with all the other dogs! Thank you!! 🥰
Omg! It’s Tommy. 🐶❤️❤️❤️👏🥰
Tommy Boy is gorgeous and not going anywhere he has found his forever home
Lee, the "animal whisperer" ! Tommy has family now ! For all you do Lee THANK YOU and God bless you all !!
Look at that face who couldn't fall in love with him. He just looks like the sweetest boy, by the way I know you love him you made a song for him!! Everyone in the pack was so good with him, and Penny that girl is the social director to make sure he is good!! I really love him he has a beautiful smile nice choice my friend, love ya!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you rescue senior dogs. They have been through so much.They deserve the best golden years.
I love how all the dogs greeted him at the van. They are so adorable ❤🐢😁🌈
They are all beautiful and gorgeous dogs.
I see a foster fail, your attached and Tommy is a total love he would be a perfect addition to the Asher family. 💕
I loved it the day Tommy went swimming!
I'm in love...again !!! Tommy Boy welcome home baby !!! Dad said "foster"... but, we all know he's failed at fostering 😂. You're already his Son !!!
my favorite.......with his ball......and riding the surfboard
Tommy Boy is so handsome and chill, what an awesome addition to the pack. He looks a lot like my Pinky Louise, an English bulldog mix I adopted 8 years ago, also from the mean streets of L.A. She’s been the best girl ever and still going strong. I’m wishing all the best for you and Tommy Boy, he couldn’t have landed at a better place than with you at the Sanctuary.💕
I love Tommy Boy! I love him with his ball and toys. Love you baby boy!
Oh my goodness, I don't think I could pass up that little man if he was wandering around my streets!!!
Such a cutie pie!!.
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love Tommy Boy!!!!!!!!
I can’t help but cry happy tears every time Lee brings a pup home and the pack gathers around him/her, so sweet and eager to welcome the newcomer.
The other dog is beautiful and gorgeous!🥰🐕🥰
Just when I thought the pack couldn’t get any cuter!💕💕💕
I did not know Tommy was a Senior! Hes one of favorites. Tommy has only gotten cooler. Have a great day guys.
Everyone in the pack is welcoming him.. telling him what a great life he’s about to have!!!
I love that ❤️🐶
I love how "the pack" is so patient and sweet to any new dog you introduce them to. They feel safe at all times and are willing to greet any new dog with kindness and that's due to your kind, compassionate nature :-)
I have a feeling Tommy Boy is going to be a foster fail lol. Welcome home Tommy Boy!
I think so also...🤞🙏
👍👍
Me too :-))))))))))
I doubted the "foster" as soon as he said it. Lol
I literally just posted the same comment! LOL
My gosh, all those kiddos live for one thing.... to snuggle as close as possible to their Poppi.
It always amazes me how the pack are so accepting of each new dog it's so lovely to see, it makes my heart happy 😊
Oh my goodness I never saw this one before! TOMMY ❤
I friggin love you Lee,the Creator made no mistakes with you in mind....you truly are an amazing human being,and Thank you for your huge heart 💜
Nikki your so right he’s amazing beautiful soul lv Ann
I love how it went from “rescue” to “my boy now” in 3 hours. Love this ❤❤❤❤
dude has a heart of gold
Awwww look at Tommy Boy! Soooooo cute!...I wonder how long he was wondering the streets..THANK GOD he was rescued!
I love that the dogs are all wagging their tails with joy at a new member of the pack. Look at Milly getting right up there too. So freaking sweet!
I know you can't keep them all, but damn, that's one sweet dog!
Thought the same thing
I just love how you kiss their face and love them! I did that to my beautiful girl too until her sad passing on 1st May this year!
Lee you know your going to keep him he's so adorable
Said it before and I'll say it again and again. There will be a special spot in heaven for you, amazing, kind and caring man 💜🤎🖤
Wow he fit in seamlessly!! WTG Tommy boy that was a overwhelming day!
I would love to see a video of Tommy discovering the red ball that he’s become so famous for ❤
Oh Tommy boy! It’s your lucky day!!! You are up for more love and adventure than you could’ve imagined. ❤❤❤
Love Tommy boy....
😊🤗❤
He's beautiful , I bet he stays for ever, bless you🙏💙
As a furbaby mum to two bulldogs, this broke my heart knowing he was a stray as they love their human so much. So glad you found him ❤️
I love every single dog in your pack. My heart strings are especially tugged when it comes to Pom Poms. All of them are so lucky to have you.
I love how sweetly the pack welcomed Tommy Boy❤❤❤ The pack is a true reflection of your energy, Lee.💚💚💚💚
OMG Tommy and Maeve are such a cute wrinkly duo!!! 😍
I loved how you put him down onto the ground and he just disappears into a sea of dogs!!!
Ohhh Tommy boy is just lapping it up.... He just loves that sweet attention!!!🌺❤️😘
I love Tommy ❤
Tommy Boy will heal in no time with all the love he’ll get from Lee and pack! So good to see Millie is getting healthier and healthier!💜🐾💚
Before his Red ball 😂❤ Bless him ❤
Congrats, Tommy! I’m so glad you’re fostering him. He seems like such a happy, grateful, loving dude ❤️
I sense a foster fail ...lol
@@lindafines5625 I do too!
I’ve a feeling Tommy will be joining the Pack permanently… we’ll see 😇🐶🥰
Oh my gosh I’ve been loving Tommy in videos for months obviously not seeing this first ❤️ he’s the BEST foster fail
You and the pack make my heart happy... 🥳🐾
OmG I'm just seeing Tommy's rescue!! It only took seven months for him to go through that ball lol love him
How could you abandon such a Sweet Soul...? I just adore him!!!! 🧡🐾❣ Thank you Lee for saving his life and giving him such a loving surrounding !!! I pray 🙏 you keep him. God Bless!!

I find myself smiling throughout the entirety of your videos. You are awesome Lee, wishing you all the strength to continue caring for that family
Agree !!! its so uplifting to see "love in action" 💓💓💓
Oh I’m in love with Tommy Boy! He looks so happy at the sanctuary with you and his new brothers and sisters. Please keep him Lee! 💜💜💜
Tommy Boy! What a lucky pup! 💜
my heart melts for Tommy
I have a Olde English Bulldog and they are the best dogs. Health issues come with them definitely. So happy for Tommy Boy!

Then it's like everywhere the new dog turns, there's *another* dog. Open a door. Dog. Walk into a room. Another dog. Walk onto the porch. More dogs. Lol

Loved your singing and so did Tommy Boy! 🤭👍🏼 Keep being you Lee 🙏🏼
You so sweet Asher house. God bless 🙌
I can’t believe someone isn’t looking for him. He’s beautiful and looks to be well cared for.
I thought the same. He’s really well trained too. I hope someone isn’t out there missing him 🥲
Bulldogs are very chill. I have a forever foster Sr bulldog who is 9, female who was taken in from rescue after being overbred and tons of major spine issues. She is the easiest dog I have ever had. After losing 3 boxers to cancer in less than two years she is my sunshine.

I love how he carries the red ball on his walks. so cute!
If part of Tony is in Millie’s heart, part of Jack is in Tommy. What a sweetie.
Yes that's beautiful ❤️
Yes, immediately had to think of Jack, too.
I doubt he'll ever leave 🐶❤
Truly amazing how Tommy Boy looked so unsure & hesitant in the beginning of the video & then emerges as a tail wagging puppa who brightened up seeing Lee trotting right over! What a change just a bit of love can bring
What a gorgeous bull dog! Wait til he meets Maeve🐶
Aww, look at Millie all up there in the welcoming committee and wagging her tail. Love how they all gather round the newbies so gently and giving reassurance.
Brings my heart joy to see you and the team save these beautiful animals. Thank you! 👍
Adorable bulldog ❤❤❤
Lovely to see Tommy joining the pack. Much love to you all ❤️🥰
I love watching him carrying his ball. Lol
It's like the first day at a college dorm. "Hey a other new kid!" So adorable how sweet and curious the pack is about each new roommate. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you again! My brother is Tommy, so I'm sending this to him!
Ooh, he's sooo cute. I really hope he's a "Foster Fail" I'm gonna keep everything crossed 🤞🤞🤞🐶🐕
It worked!! Yay 😁
Loved the singing - do it more often 👏👍🎶
As soon as he got Lee’s kisses, Tommy Boy knew all was right with the world ❤️🐾💋
When you kiss a stray dog on the lips 30 times in the first moments of meeting each other. Priceless!.
OMG....I want him!!! I already have a male bulldog, Ermey, that would love to have a buddy like Tommy Boy. That face!!! ☺
Oh he is so sweet! That face!! Glad he found you!! 💕💕💕
That was just a wonderful welcome... your doggos learn what they live. They are so loved, have a real family, and have a Pack Dad who loves them all individually and as a Doggie Family / Pack. They are all filled up inside, love their life, and have enough to share. They are not worried that one new dog is going to mean no place for them. That is an absolutely fantastic achievement!

very well said! x
You're so amazingly don't ever change we love you I think exactly the way you do when it comes to animals
....and now he is the star of the asher house....Tommy boy , in every video I am looking for you.
Awww Tommy Boy is so sweet, he fits right in there.❤
I love how when you bring home a new pup, the rest of the pack reminds me of little kids when a loved one comes back from a trip... "What did ya bring me, Dad?!?! What you got in there?!?! Is it for me?!?!" 💜🐾💜🐾
